Many ancestors learnt to mimic the birds or Manu influencing Te Reo Māori, toi, and traditions. At the rising of the sun, like our Manu, they would pray or moteatea accompanied by waiata (song) at times.
Here you see 2 Manu carved in Pounamu with the sun between their foreheads, singing and calling out to one another through the Ngahere. It is a majestic time of day where nature is at it's brightest.
This XL Pounamu Taonga is more than just an adornment - Carefully Hand-carved, making it truely one-of-a-kind to be worn, gifted, or passed down.
